Go ahead and get to work trying to repeal it then! Get the signatures, mobilize the popular vote and work through the legislative process. biatching about it on twitter isn't going to do farkall.

That said I don't think the 2nd Amendment needs to be repealed. Universal background checks SHOULD have been passed, there should be a ban on the sale/manufacture of "non standard" magazines (30rd Ar15 mag is ok, 100rd is not/17rd Glock mag is ok, 33rd is not), and any firearm that is not under your immediate control (on person/within arm's reach) must be locked up/rendered safe. No inspections to verify but if the cops are there at your house for another reason then and they discover unsecured weapons then they fine you and (maybe) seize them.

I think it should be amended, updated for the times. I would love to see private gun ownership ended, as I am virulently anti-gun, but I know that will never happen. So amend it (obviously its been done before,) with updates about assault rifles, automatic weapons, high capacity clips and magazines, armor piercing bullets...basically anything that was designed for military or law-enforcement use that goes beyond your basic home protection handgun or hunting rifle/shotgun.

Sadly, even this is farking impossible. We can't even get background checks on nutbags because of the farking asshole NRA, even though over 90% of Americans want them.

I hope Wayne LaPierre is killed with a gun. Not soon; I hope he lives a normal lifespan. But I hope that is the way his life ends; violently, with him shiatting himself in fear.

Oh, and major props for the Nikki Cox shotgun to the face joke upthread a ways. LOL

What if the government turns on the people? Or do you think that will never happen?

Yes, because repealing something from the Bill of Rights will be exceedingly easy to do. We can't even agree on more background checks. I would say that Jay Mohr is a joke, but he's never made me laugh.

Centralized authority and a government monopoly on force. Let me guess, you claim to be a "liberal" right? You're doing it wrong.

Stay classy.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Although I suppose that means Wayne LaPierre will die when a firearm manufacturer falls on him or something.

It should be repealed. Every other first-world country seems to get along just fine without any equivalent clause in its constitution. The only purpose the second amendment serves is to rhetorically block any and all reasonable gun control legislation, even at the local level.

But hey I'm a Canadian gun owner so ... do what you want.

You take your logic and your reason and you get the hell out of my gun control debate.
